2,3-Diaminopyridine → tert-Butyl 4-[(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)amino]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,3-diaminopyridine (3.0 g, 27.5 mmol) in DCE (45 ml) was added tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (5.75 g, 28.8 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred for 5 min at RT before the portion-wise addition of NaBH(Oac)3 (8.7 g, 41.7 mmol) and continued stirring at RT until the reaction judged complete by LCMS. The reaction was quenched with 5% NaOH, the layers separated and the organic layer was dried over Na2SO4. Evaporation gave the desired product as a brown solid (4.96 g). LC/MS (10% to 99%): M/Z (M+H)+ (obs)=293; tR=2.31.
